Mental Health Support
In GISD, our students continuously work to develop the following skills and attributes within our Learner Profile:
Cognitive Skills: Applies critical thinking, Creates & innovates, Obtains knowledge through inquiry and exploration
Intrapersonal Skills: Adapts and perseveres, develops self-knowledge and personal responsibility
Interpersonal Skills: Communicates, collaborates, builds & models respectful relationships
As a school district, we believe in the importance of not just the cognitive and academic skills within the Learner Profile. Rather, our focus and belief rests in supporting and developing the whole child which include the intra and interpersonal traits as well.
As a Wagner campus, our faculty and staff understand this importance and support not just the academic but also the overall well-being of their student's mental and emotional health in the following ways.
